That's a lot of code to look over. Any chance you could be more specific with the problem. What happens - any error message?

each time when i press login button. for customer. a page "customer.php" gets open instead of notifying me that i have entered wrong user name or password or something like that.

Again, there shouldn't be any brackets around Post Variables.
Maybe its not an error, but It doesn't make a sense.
Try to change it to:

$username= $_POST['username'];
$password= $_POST['password'];

i have found the error. there should not be space in file name

IMO - your login is EXTREMELY unsafe - open to SQL injection:

I'd do this:

$con=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("pras2");
 //you need an error routine for connection - trap the error and keep it handy for a custom message
$error = false; 

$username= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$password= md5(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']));
//always hash your passwords - there are better hashes than md5 however and they should have a salt - anyway just an example
 
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM customer WHERE Username='$username' LIMIT 1)";

if (mysql_num_rows($result)==1){

   $d = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);  //get data 

   if($d['password'] == $password){
      session_regenerate_id();
      $_SESSION['SESS_CUSTOMER_ID'] = $d['Customer_ID'];
      $_SESSION['SESS_NAME'] = $d['Customer_name'];
      header("location: customer.php");
      exit();
    }else {
      //means the password is wrong
      $error = true;
    }
}else {
    //means no username of that input exists
    $error = true;
}

if($error){
   header(...the action to take if login unsuccessful);
   exit();
}

If a login is unsuccessful - DO NOT give the user any info on why it was unsuccessful - unless it's a DB conenction error, in which case ask them to try again later or to contact admin.

yeah now i have understood thnx alot for helping
